sample XF86Config file
# This is a sample XF86Config file. It can be cut from this document
# and placed in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file.
#
# The config file has a hierarchical “Section” structure along
# with some standalone “Sections.”
#
# The standalone sections are the Files, Module, and DRI Sections.
# There may only be one of each of these sections in the config file.
#
# The hierarchical section consists of the ServerLayout, InputDevice,
# Screen, Monitor, and Device sections. There may be multiple sections
# of each.
#
# Each screen section in turn specifies a Monitor and a Device
# section.
#
# Check the document “Graphics Administration Guide” for complete
# documentation of the config file organization and description of all
# options. An online version of the Graphics Administration Guide is
# located online at:

#
# The ServerLayout section specifies the input and output devices that are
# connected to the server. Multiple ServerLayout sections may be contained in
# the XF86Config file. However, the first one in the file is the active
# layout, unless otherwise specified by the -layout option from the command
# line. Check the "Graphics Administration Guide" (GAG) for other options that
# may be set here, or elsewhere, in the XF86Config file.
